Flashing to different region - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm thinking of buying a note 2 but there is about a 50 euro price difference between the Netherlands and Germany. The thing is that the German version has no handwriting detection for the Dutch language.
I know that I can flash the Dutch firmware through ODIN, but will it be recognised as a Dutch note 2 after this? Will I get future Dutch updates through KIES or even OTA?

Websites catering to Stock ROM :
sampro . pl : Good site ,was updated faster than samfirmware first But has European firmwares .
sammobile . com (earlier samfirmware . com ): Caters to all audiences NOW including North America and South America .
CheckFUS. : Basically It is a checking site for all firmwares .If it's available on CHeckFus then chances are it's available in KIES

[Q] Flashing a foreign language firmware

Hi good people of XDA,
I bought my Galaxy Note 2 in the UK but the firmware does not support the handwriting recognition in Czech language /unlike Notes 2 sold in Czech Republic/. I found the official Czech firmware online but am not sure if it's safe to flash onto the UK model? Obviously dont want to end up with a brick. Any ideas? Thank so much!
You can safely flash roms of any country.

On this web they suggest its not advisable: http://www.geekyandroid.com/2012/10...e-download-jelly-bean-4.1.1.html#comment-form
IMP : It is assumed that you are sound enough to not flash a rom that is not for your device. Ex, flashing German rom on US device.

No no. If you have n7100 then you can flash any rom for n7100.
Us devices are different than international version.

As long as you flash a ROM of the same phone model. Sometimes countries have sppecial model just for them. For example China have the N7108 which is only for China Mobile.
But if the phone is N7100 there is no problem.

[Q] updated phone while on holiday in Asia broke s note

Hi
Just got back to UK from holiday in Asia
Now S Note is broken, just crashes. I think this is connected to language selection.
I have 2 downloaded input languages for samsung keyboard, English UK and Thai but cannot delete either. other languages i download can be deleted.
There are 2 possible reasons for the Thai having being downloaded
The guy where I bought the local sim in Bangkok downloaded it or the more likely reason of a major update being installed while in Bangkok.
I have tried factory reset but Thai still downloaded.
any ideas how I can remove Thai download?
phone details are:
Note 2 n7105
android: 4.1.2
baseband: N7105NEDMJ2
Build Number: JZ054KN7105XXDMJ1
Thanks for any help.

My phone is not rooted and I do not mind either way.
I have reinstalled using Kies still got dual language though.
Many thanks
U can check your csc And see what's your phone sales code. U can change the sakes code by entering a code in the phone dialer and then update the firmware. Cant remember of u need root

[Q] Changing CSC code to BTU.

Hello from a newbie & sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it anywhere for the 2014 edition.
I've bought a 32Gb LTE Note 10.1 2014 edition from Hong Kong and needless to say it comes with a heavily biased Chinese version of the operating system, now having read other fora, I have managed to understand how to flash the device using Odin, however I was after a UK (BTU) version of the rom, but what I have got is the Spanish one.
OK, I have no problem with it as I have changed all of the settings to use UK English, but I am looking for a way to change the CSC code to from PHE (Spanish) to BTU (UK) so that I can get any firmware updates for it.
The one thing I want to do is keep it as near to stock condition as possible, namely I don't want to root it (is that what it's called?).
Can someone please advise me how to do this please.
Thanks.
If you know how to flash the thing, just get a Spanish firmware from sammy mobile and flash it
I've also ordered a 605 from HK. I intend to flash this firmware.
I bought the P605 from Germany and it is unlocked but T Mobile branded. Can I flash the UK firmware ?
Thanks,
Halldor

@Ben81.
That despite it saying it's a BTU firmware isn't. It's the one I downloaded and is the Spanish one (PHE), I really do wish that those who provide these firmwares ensure that when they say it's from the UK it IS from the UK and when you do the flash it gives you the correct CSC code, when you plug it into Kies.
Thanks for the info. Will probably still flash that as it'll be better than the Chinese one!
EDIT: Installed it and can confirm it gives a PHE code.

Install Canadian stock on UK tab s?

Hi all,
I'm getting impatient waiting for lollipop to be released in the UK for my tab s 10.5 wifi.
Is it safe to install the official Canada rom via Orin?
It's the only one I see which may be in English!
Thank you
Yes I did it on my UK T800 and it is working just fine.
Just install the french one to be safe.
I installed the french one and I'm in UK, language stayed English didn't change to french.
I tried installing US and Canadian but it failed on hidden, it didn't do that with the french version, possibly cause it's eu aswell.
